An alternator is a device that converts DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current). If you need to convert AC to DC, then you need a rectifier.
An alternator produces AC current but it is converted to DC by the rectifier inside the alternator.
Turn the DC generator inside out and you have an alternator .
No, and alternator generates DC current. A starter just uses DC current to start the engine.
The engine itself emits nothing. The alternator does. The alternator emits AC, but it is converted to DC.

Shaft(rotor) of DC motor and Alternator(AC Generator) are alligned axially and radially to each other and connected.
The only type of current used by automobiles is dc current although the alternator produces ac current which is converted to dc by rectifiers built into the alternator. Even the alternator is controlled by dc current though through the use of a voltage regulator which limits the amount of negative dc sent to the stator and positive dc current sent to the rotor of the alternator which limits the EMF.
The Current in a automobile is DC, you have a battery which is dc, and your alternator produces ac current but converts it to DC inside the alternator unit which gives your battery DC power. So basically everything in your car is DC.
It should produce 14.5v +/- and it's DC.
It makes AC ( alternating current ) . That's why it's called an alternator. A DC generator would usually be called a dynamo.
